A blueprint might contain Smd files with a core at (16, 16, 16) and still have a metadata of v3 or lower. In that case all positions of the metadata file need to be adjusted for positions to be consistent.

 After the version comes a tag. There are 7 known tags that indicate how the bytes that come after them are read.
-The end of a file is reached if tag id '1' is read, or at the end of the tag id '2' data bytes.
